PS3C - Relationship Between Energy and Forces

Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    When objects are touching, there is an electromagnetic force between them, and as one slides on top of the other, it generates a frictional force.

  • 2

    Objects don't have to be touching to exert forces due to gravitational, magnetic, or electric fields.

  • 3

    When two objects interact, each exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred.
